Mayor Dustin Wasson reads a proclamation in honor of the return of the carousel to Perry’s 4th of July celebration. Behind him are Ron Leake and those who spent two months locating and renovating the carousel, ready to take the first ride.

The big draw for this year’s Fourth of July celebration at Perry was the return of the 1898 model Armitage-Spillman carousel that was the center of the holiday celebration from 1942 through 1963. Hundreds of people came to ride the carousel. They brought their families to ride with them and there was often three generations in a chariot or on the prancing horses. Mary Whelan, 92-years-young, rode with family members as did several of Perry’s senior citizens. There were smiles and memories too many to number.

From 11 a.m., the line for the car-

ousel stretched back to the pavilion and beyond and the line for the fish stretched to the carousel. The line for Hodges’ homemade ice cream snaked toward the tractor pull. Children lined up to participate in the pedal tractor pull and to jump their frogs.

Fortunately the afternoon stayed relatively cool so the dive into the hay for coins wasn’t too itchy. Then the lines continued as children from 3 to 12 lined up to spit sunflower seeds for the record and the prize. Teams scrounged the park and beseeched the kindness of strangers as they collected tidbits and

oddities for the scavenger hunt. The winners gleefully ran off with medals swinging against their chests.

Tractors pulled and chugged as the last of the fish was eaten and everyone said “Whoa!” one last time. The crowd thinned, the last tractor pulled and the clean-up began. The sky remained blue with only a few clouds and the breeze refreshed those who loaded the trailers.

Next year the carousel will return and the park will once again fill with family and friends seeking camaraderie and memories.

Bailey Announces Retirement from HNB; Albus Promoted HNB Regional President, Glen Bailey, has announced he will retire effective July 31, after 27 years with the bank. Glen served as the President of Perry State Bank for over four years and then moved into the Regional President position after the merger with HNB in 2008.

Bailey currently has a cattle operation that he shares with his wife, two sons, and grandchildren. After retirement, Glen looks forward to spending his time dedicated to his farm. He said, “I have always enjoyed raising cattle and taking care of my farm, that will be where I spend most of my time after I retire.”

HNB President, John Zimmer, expressed his appreciation of the years of service Bailey provided. Zimmer com- Glen Bailey, left, and Jeff Albus. mented, “Glen has been an excellent leader of the bank for many years. He has been instrumental in building a strong and loy-

al customer base in Ralls and Pike counties. He will be missed by his customers and coworkers a great deal.”

Glen will miss the relationships he has built with his many customers over the years of service. Many of his customers have turned into long time friends and he hopes to maintain those relationships outside of the bank. “That is the part I will miss the most. The relationships you build with people, not just as customers but also as friends.”

Jeff Albus has been promoted to Senior Vice President and Branch Manager and will be moving into the Perry office full time to replace Bailey. Albus has been with the bank for 10 years, first with Perry State Bank and then with HNB.

911 ASSISTANT DIRECTOR POSITION OPENED FOR APPLICATIONS Everyone on the Ralls 911 board of directors has the same goal in mind – to get the county’s emergency facility up and running as soon as possible.

What they don’t share is how best to do so. The meeting on July 1 was an example of how those two opposing forces set the pace of action for the next two months.

July’s treasurer’s report was the first to reflect monies from the news sales tax, resulting in a $151, 529.38 balance.

The first hurdle came when the new director, Mike Arnold, explained the mileage he charged due to the intensity

of the mapping he was doing, logging nine days of driving on his personal vehicle. When asked why he couldn’t use the new mapping system in the assessor’s office he explained that a 911 addressing map is not the same, “You can’t use an assessor’s map for dispatching.”

After the treasurer’s report was accepted several members of the pubic spoke in length. Arnold gave his Director’s report. He wanted to contact the current vendor to resume trash pick-up at a cost of $44 per month. This led to a discussion on whether to let Arnold go ahead and make that decision or to bid

it out. The board voted to bid it out.

Other actions Arnold had taken during his first nine days on the job were: Arranged to have the MULES router back in place beginning on July 21 Signed up with LAGERS so he could begin hiring employees Met with two insurance agents Put EZ911 back and place and work on the addressing map every day Spoke to Tom White at A&W about the radio service, there is a need to upgrade the Sheriff ’s digital channel

VIEWS AND COMMENTS

Primary Election

From the Editor

August 5, 2014 RE-ELECT CONNIE BERRY

Democratic Candidate

by Editor Carolyn Trower

THE LAND OF THE FREE How many times do you think the “Star Spangled Banner” was played and/or sung this past weekend? (How many people actually know all the words?) Interpretations of the national anthem are as varied as personal doctrines for the dressing and consumption of hot dogs.

(Hot dogs holding patriotic significance as they are one of the few items still made in this country.

And, like government, produced in mostly reclusive surroundings from elements not necessarily appealing.)

It seems to me that there is a growing consensus that “the land of the free” is no longer a reference to the concept of human freedom upon which our country was founded, but instead, a manifesto that all the comforts of life should be low-hanging fruit.

Government seems to be most comfortable with this doctrine as it is a great way to recruit voters.

For example, a recent news report dealt with advocates in Detroit avowing that a human rights violation had been perpetrated when water was shut off from people who were months/years and hundreds/thousands of dollars past due. I wonder how this outlook would sit in California or Texas or most of the nation where 30 (maybe 60) days is one’s limit.

Most obvious, of course, is the current overflow of illegal immigrants. The human instinct is compassion.

Eventually, reality sets in. There seems to be a most definite opinion among illegals that if they can get into the U.S. the cracks are wide enough that most of them will fall into the safety net of Medicare through the Affordable Healthcare Act.

In reality, the road is being made quite easy for most as they are being shipped to communities where they can blend in and disappear until they get their driver’s license and subsequently register to vote. Why they are not being housed in vacant housing on “mothballed” military installations can only mean that, like hot dogs, the administration doesn’t want to know.

But, the mass influx of illegals makes much broader ripples. In the middle of the summer, when human interaction is peak, masses of unvaccinated are circulating among a population facing the return of measles, whooping cough and most other diseases that were supposed to be extinct. As these “detainees” float for months or years for a ride home (if we can find them), school will start. Who pays for their shots? Of course, they get free meals. They will need desks and lap tops. Too bad our schools are eliminating teachers and classes because the funding has dried up. Oh, more casinos and lotteries: that’s it!

Then, consider if you will, the fact that border agents are so busy being humanitarians that they don’t have time to monitor the drug smuggling.

It’s really hard to believe that there is no planning behind this. Somehow the sight of women and children emerging from Cartel Country, through a no man’s land of vacant properties where the Cartel has driven residents out, and yet being dressed in spotlessly clean clothes with no dirt on their shoes fails the test of spontaneity.

The Star Spangled Banner still waves because we are free to wave it. And that’s not a freebie.

FROM OUR READERS Dear Editor: I would like to thank your newspaper for publishing the upcoming public hearing dates scheduled by the Missouri Public Service Commission with respect to the Grain Belt Express Clean Line project.

These meetings are important and will impact the deliberations and decisions of the Public Service Commissioners.

As noted in your July 3 edition, the Ralls County hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 12 at 6 p.m., at the Theater Auditorium at Hannibal-LaGrange University in Hannibal.

In my view, Grain Belt continues to ignore the concerns of landowners across the state. Grain Belt may make its electricity “clean” using windmills in Kansas. However, it delivers its electricity through the State of Missouri in

one of the more environmentally unfriendly and aesthetically unsightly ways possible.

A potential solution: bury the line but, to this point, Grain Belt has rejected this course of construction. In any event, I encourage your readers to attend the hearing on Tuesday, Aug. 12 at 6 p.m., at Hannibal-LaGrange University, in Hannibal.

Again, thank you for keeping your readers informed about the status of this matter.

God Bless the USA! That sentiment seemed to echo throughout the park at the Perry 4th of July celebration last Friday. Patriotism and nostalgia were the order of the day. Red, white and blue ribbons, beads and t-shirts flowed throughout the crowd. Flags were everywhere and people gathered around the Mexico Veterans Home bus to visit with older veterans brought there to share in the festivities.

Ralph Omer, a long time Perry resident, enjoyed visiting with old friends and talking to the youngsters. He was especially glad to be able to see the carousel and reminisce on the days when he helped with its operations.

The carousel brought out people from 15 states who “came home” just to see the horses in motion again. I don’t know for certain, but I’m betting that at any given time there were more adults riding than children. It

was especially neat to see grandmothers holding little ones on their laps or standing beside them on the horses. Years disappeared as the carousel spun its magic and took us all back in time.

This year Jeremy Jaspering organized the Antique Tractor Pull. He took over from Eddie Campbell who had dedicated many years organizing the event. There were other examples of the “changing of the guard” throughout the day. Travis Sharp and Nathan Long helped Missy Jaspering with the Kiddie Pedal Tractor Pull.

Jodi Sharp and her assistant helped me out by taking the picture of the Frog Jumping winners when game times overlapped.

My wonderful daughterin-law videoed and took pictures for me throughout the day and helped me with the contests.

cream. Several parents jumped in to help sort out the details for the sunflower seed spitting contest. These young people are the town’s core and it was a pleasure to see them respond to the needs of the day.

It was a good day for all. The older folk (and I am increasingly edging toward this group) enjoyed visiting with classmates and cousins and watching our grandkids race from one activity to another. The kids enjoyed the games and the carousel. There was fish and ice cream. The weather was almost perfect.

The pictures taken by a drone and posted on Perry’s website and on Facebook show the red and white striped tent of the carousel, the cluster of tractors and the crowds of people. What they couldn’t show was the hard work and small town pride that brought it all together.

TWO LONG YEARS I have been gone 19 months. I have a wife and a boy a year old I have never seen. There are no cell phones, no Skype, only airmail letters. I was drafted into the Infantry and the past two years have not been fun. I finally got the call that it was my turn. I got on a troop ship and spent the longest ten days of my life. And then we were going under the Golden Gate Bridge, a feeling no one could explain. Next came Alcatraz, then a bus to Fort Ord. Three long days to muster out. We got paid for leave time we did not receive, and whatever money we had in sol-

dier’s deposit. Five guys in a cab for a 90 mile ride to the San Francisco airport, making the cab stop at every Budweiser sign. It would be forty years before I would admit at this point I was already an alcoholic. Finally aboard a 4-engine TWA Constellation six hour non-stop flight to Kansas City.

My best buddy who is now a foreman at the Chevrolet plant first words to me will be “They are hiring at the Chevrolet plant”. I am not interested in a job, I have been gone two years. That window would close. I had an ironworker’s journeyman union card before I left,

and they had paid my dues and put a stamp in my book for two years. It was nearing winter and there was no construction going on. I didn’t want to milk cows with my dad. If I thought the last two years were rough, I should have thought more about the future.

The plane lands at Municipal Airport downtown Kansas City. There my beautiful wife is with my son, standing off by themselves. We get in my 1950 Ford and head down 40 Highway to Oak Grove. My son had been crying ever since he saw a stranger kiss his momma at the airport, and he is still crying.

That happened 59 years ago and it would take us a long time to recover from those two years. The next time you see a Veteran or service member, thank him or her.

Bailey Announces Retirement u Continued from Page 1A

The first eight years of his banking career were spent in the Monroe City office as an agriculture lending specialist. The last two years have been spent splitting time between Monroe City and Perry.

Prior to his banking career, Albus spent 16 years with Consolidated Grain.

This experience with farm marketing has served him well in his lending role with HNB. “The experience I gained with Consolidated has been invaluable in understanding the operations of a farm. Marketing is always a key to the success of any size operation,” he said.

Jeff grew up in Laddonia and graduated in 1984 from Community High School. He then graduated in 1988 from the Univer-

sity of Missouri in Columbia. He currently resides in Monroe City.

HNB at Perry is a full service community bank, while also being a competitive option for all types of farm loans. One change Albus is most pleased with is that HNB now has the ability to offer long term, fixed rate loans for farm real estate. “We enjoy serving all aspects of lending at Perry, from consumer loans to commercial businesses. The fixed rate loans we now offer on farm real estate is another vital aspect to the security of any farming operation. We are proud to have developed this option for our customers.

Zimmer is pleased to have Albus accept this role

for HNB. He commented, “Jeff is very well versed in all areas of lending and is especially suited to handle all our agriculture customers. The farming community in Northeast Missouri is very strong and is a major part of our business. We are very committed to continuing to serve their needs and hope to grow the business as well.”

Zimmer went on to announce several other promotions in the Perry bank.

Dawn Eddington has been promoted to Senior Vice President and will continue her role of overseeing operations for all of HNB’s branches. Mike Myers has been promoted to Vice President & Loan Officer and will continue to serve the lending needs of cus-

Opening music was appropriate for the time including “America the Beautiful” and “America!

America! God shed His Grace on thee.” Now in these times, we should all stop and remember when His Grace was mightily seen and appreciated across our country. Wayne’s special music piece for this Sunday was “I’ll Be True To the Red, White and Blue.”

Pastor Grubb

Prayer requests were stated and we all joined together in prayer. We were ministered then by music. We enjoyed so very much a Southern Gospel Concert by Mr. Rodney Morss. Rodney has made one CD and is going back to TBN to make another one soon.

This young man has been blessed with message in song. We wish him well in his work for the Lord.

Pastor Charles then led us in the “Observance of the Lord’s Supper,” followed by Benediction and dismissal. May we all experience the presence, joy and peace as only Jesus can give.

Pastor John Grimmett let the Call to Worship and A Prayer of Confession with prayer for JD Whelan; Helen Kennon; Bryan Carey; Dorothy Woodhurst; Arian Gordman; John Bergthold; Darrell Watson; our country; the emigrant’s;

Pastor John Grimmett

Amanda Grimmett; the Randall and Shonda Galloway family; the Hufferman family; praises for Sherry Cleaver and thank you from the Grimmett’s.

The church was challenged to do five acts of “Love in July” and baby items are needed for the church project; Happy Birthday was sung to Jere Nelson.

Patti played guitar and sang “What Did He Die For?”.

The message “Purpose, Power, Freedom and Faith” was based on scripture from Romans 8:18-39. A lot of suffer-

someone today. Live life as a witness! We’re restless until we find rest in God! Communion and Offertory was led by Earl Sweitzer as Patti played “God of Our Fathers”.

All retired in fellowship as Patti played “God Bless America’.

Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m. and all are encouraged to come hear the word of the Lord.

Remember our freedoms and thank God for them!

Area Business Guide

Perry Christian Church The July 6 worship hour of the Perry Christian Church remembered the Independence Day Holiday. Arlen Provancha sang “This Is My Country”. Greg Harrison introduced Pastor Jim Walker, his wife Shirley and son Nathan. Pastor Walker filled the pulpit for today. Their friends from Moberly were also welcomed.

Arlen announced VBS will be July 20-24 and they are in need of individuals to be crew leaders and a photographer. Call Arlen if you can help “America, The Beautiful” was sung in praise. Floyd Seelow had several members of his family with him helping to celebrate his birthday. Logene and Lois Friday will have an anniversary July 13. Betty Fry will have her 90th birthday July 11. Cards can be sent to her at Monroe Manor, 200 South St., Paris, 65275.

“A Song of Peace” was the prayer hymn. Sympathies were for the families of Carol Moseley, Gordon Groves, Edith Webber and Kirk Worley. “Alleluia” was the response.

Pastor Walker gave the invitation to share the Lord’s Supper. “God

ing has been so that we can have freedom...You are a saint - a believer! If God is for us - who can be against us? Jesus is praying for you. Nothing can separate us from God which is in Christ Jesus.

Stephen was the first to die as a martyr... there is persecution throughout the world for believing in Jesus Christ. Consider the scriptures to find God’s purpose for your life!

Who are you? God has a purpose for your life you can reach out with the love of Jesus Christ to

of Our Fathers” was the communion hymn. Greg Harrison and Arlen offered the Elder’s Prayers. Deacons were Nancy Seelow, Warren Hetrick, David and Wyatt Lewellen.

Our special music was a piano solo, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”

by Floyd’s granddaughter, Kathryn.

Alisha Eisele told the children about Jesus being their friend and taking their burdens from them if they come to Him for help when they have problems.

Psalms 145:8-14 was read by Jim Gay for the pastor’s sermon, “When Saying Thanks is Not Enough”. Giving thanks to God is not the same as blessing God. We should be blessing God with our lips,(what we say) eyes (what we see), minds (our thoughts) and decisions we make in life. We need to encourage America to Bless God, not just have God bless America.

“Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus” was the invitation hymn. Pastor Walker gave the benediction and to close the service “God Bless America” was sung, with recognition for America Blessing God.

NL Second Christian In the name of the Lord, we warmly welcome all visitors and newcomers to Second Christian Church. Sunday, July 6, worship service opened with prayer and congregational hymns. Elder Paula J. Holliday welcomed everyone, read announcements, offered our call to worship and Sister Marilyn Powell led responsive reading Promises Of God. Celebration hymn”Praise Him! Praise Him” was followed by Rev. Vaughn offering morning prayer and choral response.

Hymn of thanks, “Thank You, Lord” was followed by scripture, youth sharing and message. Sister Linda K. Burton read Genesis 24: 34-38, 42 - 49; Sister Vicki Burton read Matthew 11: 16-19, 25-30; Re’Nayjah read Proverbs 1:8-11; Amiion read Proverbs 1:12; Camille read John 3:16; Camiya read Genesis 1:3 and Elisha read Proverbs 13:1-3. The message was “Birthday of the United States OF America”. Rev. Vaughn talked about the holiday and why we celebrate on July 4. The youth reviewed the Ten Commandments, were asked the password “Thank You” and recited the Lord’s Prayer. In conclusion, the youth with hand held instruments walked around the sanctuary singing “Shake, Shake, Shake The Devil Off (In The Name of Je-

sus) making a joyful noise to the Lord”. Thank you goes out to Sister Talya Mayfield for leading the youth sharing.

The choir professional, “We Are Solders” was followed by two musical selections “Two Wings” and “Take Me To The King”, soloist Sisters Gloria Sue McMillan and JaVal Burton. Offertory scripture was followed by offertory hymn “Near The Cross” and Elder Holliday offering the prayer, then doxology was sung.

Joys were heard and concerns were heard by name and concerns were also placed at the alter for pastoral prayer. Hymn “Standing On The Promises” was followed by the morning message, scripture text was from Psalm 139:1-12 and 1Samuel 3:1-9. The message “Here I Am Lord.” Listening and responding is vital I a relationship with God. Although God does not always use the sound of a human voice, he always speaks clearly through his Word. To receive his messages, we must be ready to listen and to act upon what he tells us. Like Samuel, be ready to say “Here I Am” when God calls you to action. The message was followed by hymn of invitation, communion hymn, closing hymn “God Has Smiled On Me” and the benediction.

911 assistant director position u Continued from Page 1A

Spoke with representative from Wade & Staples to introduce himself Switched the 985-3009 phone number to his cell so he can now take those calls Arnold then asked to be listed as the executor for 911 so he could go to Jefferson City and buy equipment from the government surplus items.

The board voted 7-0 in favor.

When he asked the board to set a special meeting to interview a person he recommended for the assistant director’s position, board member Jan Golian said she thought the position ought to put for other applications first. This

brought a response from Rich Adair that the board was micromanaging. Golian replied, “I said we are going to micromanage because –I said, didn’t I tell you, Michael, you have to earn our trust.

Not because of you but because of what we’ve been through. I did say that. I believe he can do it but I feel like we owe it to these people – we did just get a tax increase.”

From there it was back and forth on the merits of letting Arnold have the autonomy to do his job or to have the board oversee most of the decisions for the present time. Finally Chairman Bill Bowman called for a cease fire and took a vote.

Written comments, a request for an informal public meeting, and/or a formal courtroom hearing may be made by any person with a direct, personal interest in one or more of the factors that the Missouri Land Reclamation Commission may consider in issuing a permit, as required

by The Land Reclamation Act, sections 444.760 to 444.790 RSMo. The commission may grant a formal courtroom hearing if the commission finds, based on good faith evidence provided to them, that someone’s health, safety or livelihood will be unduly impaired by the issuance of the permit. In order to be granted a formal courtroom hearing, the health, safety and livelihood impact must be within the authority of an environmental law or regulation administered by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

Mail written comments, request for a formal courtroom hearing, or an informal public meeting to: Director, Land Reclamation Program, Department of Natural Resources, P. O. Box 176, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0176. Written comments and requests for a formal courtroom hearing and/or an informal public meeting shall be on file at the Director’s office within fifteen (15) days of the last date of publication of this notice. For more information about this process, please contact the Land Reclamation Program by telephone at (573) 751-4041.

The board was tied with Golian, Sandy Lanier and Beth Asbury voting to put the position of assistant director out to the public. Adair, Raymond Reed and Lowell Jackson voted to let Arnold hire an assistant on his own.

Bowman broke the tie and the vote was 4-3 to put the position out to the public.

Arnold then reported, “The power in the building is bad. What is here is unacceptable for a critical 911 center.” Arnold reported that there were power surges approximately six times a day that resulted in the modem being reset, alarms being triggered and multiple dropped calls. Arnold had contacted Allied Power Systems for

help on what was needed.

After a lengthy discussion on Universal Power Supply units and their costs the board voted unanimously to allow Arnold to bid out the UPS unit and the cost for electrical service to install the unit.

A special meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 9, at 7 p.m. to discuss the possibility of refinancing the building.

Job descriptions and wages for dispatchers, the assistant director and other personnel were discussed. Arnold will develop a salary schedule and a job description for each position for the board.

A regular meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on July 29.

Perry Chief of Police Brian Hooley resigns Aldermen hear words of support for chief; approve two ordinances

Approximately 25 members of the Perry community attended the Tuesday, July 1 Perry City Council meeting in a show of support for Police Chief Brain Hooley. One after another the residents stood and praised Chief Hooley and voiced their support of his job performance. Alderman Jim McIntire also showed his support for the chief.

However, all was for naught as immediately after presenting his police report to the board members, Chief Hooley duly resigned his position as Chief of Police, effective July 12.

The board members accepted the resignation 3-1 with Alderman McIntire voting in the negative.

Prior to the resignation, two of the Perry Aldermen disagreed about what had been presented at a previous meeting regarding the direction to go if the chief indeed did resign. After a short, terse interaction between the two, Mayor Dustin Wasson took control of the meeting and explained to the assembled how the public comments portion of the agenda would proceed.

During public comments: “I need someone to make sure our trash is picked up,” said Darrell Waller. “I don’t want to leave trash on the sidewalks.”

Mayor Wasson asked City Clerk Danette Henderson to follow up on the trash issue.

“Can we get the reason why this is coming?” asked Liesa Graupman.

“People are getting too many tickets and there are more stops.”

Mayor Wasson noted it wasn’t the council’s decision; it was Hooley’s decision.

“If you want him (Hooley) to work certain hours shouldn’t you tell him those hours?” asked Peta Bland.

Bland also voiced concerns of open containers on golf carts in town.

“Working it out with Brian would be a good idea,” said Rick Garner.

“I see him down here (in Perry) with a county car and that’s good for us.”

Eli Bell noted that just because you don’t see Chief Hooley working during the night doesn’t mean he is not out there.

Bell stated he feels personal opinions were being put before the citizens’ opinions.

Craig Richardson added that he did not know of a police position that is 24/7 except for the military. Mayor Wasson asked Chief Hooley if he had been told to turn his phone off when not on duty; Chief Hooley replied in the positive.

“I haven’t been in town long but Chief Hooley has been nice and respectable to me,” said Melissa Easton.

Lynn Broyles stated that Chief Hooley has done a lot of community work and having a military background is a plus for the city. Broyles noted that she doesn’t want to say she lives in a commu-

nity without a police department and would like for the issue to be worked out.

“If Chief Hooley leaves it will cost the city more to get a replacement, said Rick Czeriewski.

Czerniewski then asked for approval for the Trunk-or-Treat; Mayor Wasson advised it would be added to the August agenda.

Chris Rice asked the council to reconsider because he and his family feel safe in town.

Donald Broyles explained how Chief Hooley is able to communicate with other departments and has implemented computer software to do so and feels the local community is safer because of it.

Casey’s Manager Natashia Romaker explained to those in attendance that she feels comfortable with Chief Hooley; and there have been other officers where she hasn’t felt that way.

“You don’t understand the value of trust,” said Tom Richardson to the Aldermen. “I think you guys want to be Amish (with no ambulance, no police).”

“I have a lot of respect for Brian, we are going to miss him,” said Jacob Ferry.

Mary Ferry said, “We know Brian is doing his job and we appreciate him.”

Mayor Wasson read a letter of support from Clyde and Cheryl Oligschlager who expressed appreciation as both residents and business taxpayers and shared that they hoped a way could be found to keep Chief Hooley on the job.

Alderman McIntire noted that he did a ride along with Hooley on June 27. He said Chief Hooley was professional on his stops/calls. Alderman McIntire also noted that he asked for feedback from citizens on their feelings of no police department. He stated that he received both positive and negative feedback.

Finally, Edna Long noted that people shouldn’t have to buy a newspaper to find out when the meetings are.

Mayor Wasson explained that each agenda is posted at City Hall according to the Missouri Sunshine Law. For the remainder of the meeting: The board members approved the agenda, the minutes of the previous meeting and approved payment of the bills.

Mark Bross - & Associates (Electric Rate Study Update): Bross reported that the last electric rate study was completed in 2011 and at that time the suggested rate increase was 56%; however the council only implemented a 42% increase. The assets for the electric department are quickly depleting and need to take action. Bross presented three rate options and advocated for option #2, which would get the city through the end of their current Ameren contract.

Bross voiced concerns of

Nancy Pipkin is your sales ad person for Please call (573) 231-5919

a large deficit if the city waits until the ’15-16 budget year and suggested the city try and get six months of a new rate in.

Alderman Sharp asked if the city’s rate compared to other cities and Bross explained that Perry’s rates are not out of line with option #2 and added that the city rates are comparable to Paris and Hannibal.

Alderman McIntire asked about a small increase annually and Bross reported he could advocate that.

Mayor Wasson noted that prior to the new rates taking affect the residents would need to know what was decided. The Aldermen decided to revisit the issue at the August meeting.

The board members approved with two readings, by title only, Bill No. 187: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 700.160 ENTITLED “DISCONNECTION” OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF PERRY, MISSOURI and Bill No. 188: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 215.020 ENTITLED “CUTTING AND REMOVAL OF GRASS, WEEDS, ETC” OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF

PERRY, MISSOURI. Chief of Police Report: Chief Hooley presented the police report for June.

After presenting his report, Chief Holley read his letter of resignation.

He informed the board members that July 12 would be his last day.

Chief Hooley expressed his appreciation for the show of support.

As stated above, the board members accepted the resignation 3-1.

After the police report and resignation were given, Chief Hooley asked to be excused and Mayor Wasson gave his approval.

Superintendent Report: Superintendent report for June was presented. One bid was received for the bucket truck in the amount of $2600.00, which was more than scrap price and was accepted by the board members.

The Aldermen approved repairs to truck #11 for $485.98. Alderman McIntire abstained.

Different options were discussed regarding the street cut fee.

The board members unanimously approved Utility Superintendent Huff the authority to prepare bids on street cuts on

a case-by-case basis based on actual costs.

Fire Department: Chief Ragland reported the light tower housing needs to be replaced.

Ragland was tasked by the Aldermen by a unanimous vote to get a price on the part needed and purchase is contingent on Mayor Wasson’s approval.

Discussion took place regarding the old city fire truck. Ragland reported the rural department has expressed interest in purchasing the truck for brush fires. Ragland will get scrap price on the truck then present it to the rural department. If they would like to purchase it for scrap price they may do so. Ragland will update the board members on their decision at the August meeting.

Mayor Wasson reported the city fire department received $5,000 from the Carl Leake estate and added it is very much appreciated.

Park Board: Work continues for the 4th of July celebration.

Old Business: Welcome to Perry Signs: Mayor Wasson reported the chamber also received a check from the Carl Leake estate and put this

on hold.

New Business: Health Insurance Renewal: City Clerk Henderson reported the premium renewal rate decreased by 4.4% and noted slight changes in the deductibles, office co-pays, out of pocket maximums, prescription drugs, and inpatient hospital deductible. Most of the changes were due to the Affordable Care Act; overall, Henderson noted she was very pleased with the renewal presented by Anthem. Any deductible an employee meets over $250 will be reimbursable to the employee by the city. The board members unanimously approved the renewal rate.

Note From MIRMA: City Clerk Henderson read a letter from MIRMA thanking everyone for their efforts on the recent work of implementing the various policies as outlined in the evaluation process.

It was noted that the August meeting would take place at 6 p.m., on Aug. 7.

With no further business the board members adjourned the meeting at 7:46 p.m.

Mr. and Mrs. Marvin E. Smallwood of rural New London will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on July 11, 2014.

Marvin E. Smallwood and Dorothy V. (Hendren) Smallwood were united in marriage on July 11, 1964, at the South Side Christian Church in Hannibal.

The pastor, Elba Martin, officiated at the ceremony. Kenneth J. White (a very dear friend of the couple) was the best man, and Esther Hendren (Dorothy’s oldest sister) was the maid of honor.

Mrs. Smallwood is the daughter of the late Rollie (Tony) Hendren and the late Frances L. David Hendren (Vaughn).

Mr. Smallwood is the Mr. and Mrs. Marvin and Dorothy son of the late William Smallwood E. (Lonnie) Smallwood and the late Pearlie Belle Taylor Smallwood.

They are parents of two children, Anthony (Tony) Smallwood of New London and James (Jim) Smallwood (Kisha) of Schulter, Okla.

They are the grandparents of Russell Cooper of Ohama, Neb., Amy (Travis) Mathews of Memphis, Mo., Kaysi (Clint) Foster of Centerview, Mo., Christopher and Jacob Smallwood of Midland, Texas, Alexandra and Kelsey Smallwood of Jacksonville, Fla., Justin (Shelby) of Mounds, Okla., Wyatt and Albany McKee of Schulter, Okla.

They are also the grandparents of the late Emily LynneAnne and Anthony William (T.J.) Smallwood.

They are the great-grandparents of two great-grandchildren, soon to be three.

The two are Karli E. Foster (Kaysi and Clint) and Aiden H. Mathews (Amy and Travis). The new great-grandson on the way is due in late September (Amy and Travis).

Mr. Smallwood is a veteran, who served in the U.S. Air Force from 1960 to 1964 during the Vietnam era, where he served in France as a mechanic working on aircrafts.

He is also a retired ironworker of 26 years and the Ralls County Highway Department of 12 years. He enjoys hunting and fishing, and he still works on the family farm on which he grew up and resides today with his lovely wife.

Mrs. Smallwood started working at Kline’s in Hannibal before she met the love of her life. She spent many years as a stay-home wife and mom. Years later when the kids were grown and gone she went to work for Cerf Brothers Bag Factory, where she worked until the day they closed. She enjoys putting together photo albums and crocheting towels that she gives away as gifts.

There will be a reception from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, July 12, at the Saverton Fellowship Hall across from the Saverton Church. No gifts, please, just a card shower and fellowship.
